Alteryx

Alteryx is a software solution that allows users to quickly access, manipulate, analyze, and output data. This can be done in a one-off manner or, more commonly, the process (called a “workflow”) is something people use on a recurring (daily, weekly, monthly) basis. The way Alteryx builds workflows becomes a form of process documentation allowing users to see, collaborate on, support, and enhance the process. Data can be read and written to files, databases, and APIs. Alteryx also comes with functionality that enables predictive analytics and geospatial analysis.

A few examples across departments we’ve worked on include:

• Accounting for reconciliations and consolidations.
• Finance for forecasting and combining data from multiple departments.
• Audit to test large data sets, look for anomalies/fraud, and continuous audit.
• Tax for analysis, apportionment, state/federal filings, etc.
• HR for predicting attrition, salary adjustments, and powering executive dashboards.
• Marketing to combine data from dozens of online platforms and A/B testing.
• SalesOps for commission reporting and territory planning.
• Supply Chain/Procurement for analyzing vendors, cost, and timing.
• IT for speeding up queries, reducing the burden of SQL, and populating databases and BI tools.
